Plot:
The DreamWorks crew remains strong with a $36.1M take and its third week near the top of the box office. This week's Bolt should provide some good competition for first dates and parents' dollars, so ...( read more

MCT:December 22, 2008Eh, this movie was just ok. I thought the first one was pretty good, and the things that made the first one good are rarely found in the sequel.
It started off pretty funny. Up until the airplane crashed. Then it got bogged down in boring, cliche kid storylines and scenes. It really took a lot from The Lion King.
The penguins were funny, as was expected, but everyone else was just boring. Very typical story of broken friendships that always get mended by the end of the film.
And I hate when they try to show animated animal characters getting all emotional. It's almost like the animation studios try way too hard to show us that "This is a sad lion". To the point where it's really just corny.
If I had children I'd buy this on DVD, but it was too boring to take them to the theater for. -
MCT:December 15, 2008Madagascar 2 is really a very funny movie. This sequel is a step forward from the first one maybe because the story is more interesting and the plot is better developed. Also it is a non-stop laughing for an hour and a half with some very funny references from other movies. The cast of voices is great. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer repeating their roles as Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are again so funny and amusing. Sasha Baron Cohen as king Julien is hilarious and the addition of Alec Baldwin, Bernie Mac and Will I Am as Makunga, Zuba and Moto Moto was excellent. In conclusion, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie the whole family will enjoy.

MCT:December 1, 2008"Still Together, Still Lost"
Hopelessly stranded on the remote shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers hatch a plan to get back to Central Park that instead finds them soaking up sun in the picturesque plains of Africa. Madagascar may be a nice place to visit, but for the gang of animals who spent most of their lives in New York, there is truly no place like home. After discovering the remnants of a crashed airplane, the penguins quickly set about making the repairs needed to get the craft airborne again. When the plane finally takes to the sky, it begins to look like it's only a matter of time before Alex the Lion (voice of Ben Stiller) and friends are soaring over New York Harbor. Unfortunately the penguins weren't the aviation experts they claimed to be, and before long the crew is coming in for a crash-landing in the untamed plains of Africa. Now, as the animals reared in the safety of the zoo come into contact with their decidedly wild counterparts for the very first time, they get a better feel for their roots while marveling over the differences between life in the concrete jungle and life on the world's second largest continent. Of course, while there's plenty to love about wandering the open plains, romantic rivalries and the risk of running into dangerous poachers soon begin to outweigh the joys of some long-overdue family reunions. With some particularly heavy cases of homesickness causing hearts to weigh heavy, the group gradually starts to wonder whether they'll ever find their way back home.
Review
I was never really a fan of the first movie, I thought it was a good premise but was poorly put together and the situations they found themselves in the first movie is just way out there. The Penguin quartet stole that show for me and was the only humorous thing that kept the movie from falling apart. I just saw this sequel just for the heck of it and in my opinion, this is a step above from its predecessor but however, not that big of a deal to me. I saw it, I laughed three or four times and maybe tomorrow I'll forget it. Its the same old schtick you saw in the first one, even that annoying old lady returns and your favorite castaways still find themselves in hilarious situations that are way out there.
It was a good thing that they added more characters but it almost felt like they were just there for decoration. Maybe throw in a couple of hilarious quips and do something that a normal animal won't do and that's that. And like in the first movie, the Penguins still stole everyone's thunder and still kept the movie from falling apart. Forget the part where a shark hops and skips across the barren wildlife of Africa and the idea of an old lady going Rocky on an adult lion, I just wanted to see these penguins cause trouble but now in a different location. They deserve a spin-off, stat. -

I was expecting to have fun and have loads of laughs but instead I got disappointed. Its nothing compared to Madagascar 1. I think that the separate stories and some of the humor in this movie are heavily borrowed from other kiddie/comedy movies. Dejavu, Lion King?
Do yourself a favor and wait for the rental shop to release a dvd of this one, its really not worth watching in the cinema. If youve got kids younger than 11 maybe theyll like this, for teenyboppers and up, youve been warned. -
MCT:November 29, 2008No thanks.

Okay. it was better than 1 but kinda silly. My favourite part:
Melman:So what do you do when you get sick?
Other giraffe: We go to the dying hole and die.
Heehee. classic.
